Intel · Opencv · CVE-2017-12862
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
OpenCV versions 3.3 and earlier
Description:
The issue is related to a buffer overflow in the `modules/imgcodecs/src/grfmt pxm.cpp` component of the OpenCV library. This can lead to remote code execution or denial of service if the image is from a remote source. The vulnerability may allow an attacker to access confidential data, compromise its integrity, and cause a denial of service using a specially crafted file.
Recommendations:
For OpenCV versions 3.3 and earlier, consider disabling the `grfmt pxm.cpp` module until a patch is available to prevent potential buffer overflow exploitation.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
